Large groups, however, simply left their cities, destroyed the force fields that had enclosed them, and joined the many groups of relatively uncivilized peoples, mating with them and bearing children. [...] They felt however, that their mutant children might have a resulting disinclination toward violence, but without the prohibiting nerve-control reactions with which they were endowed.

[...] Some few of the mutant children formed a small later group who traveled the area as itinerants in the following century, with large bands of animals. [...]

[...] You each decided to have no children— you, of course, as well as Ruburt. Your children are the people you influence, help, and guide.

[...] You did not have children. [...]

In any case, in the context of this discussion, had you not married Ruburt, you would have remained single, or possibly married to a woman who also would not want children. [...]

[...] “Weapons,” perhaps, is too strong a word, I think now, for I don’t remember my mother blatantly encouraging “her” children to defy their father. [...] As I grew up I came to feel that my father was both strongly surprised and disappointed by the wife and children he’d chosen to be involved with.

One strand of your mother’s consciousness — that one involved with you — is intertwined with your reality because of her interest in homes.⁵ Another strand of hers is involved because of her interest in families — and hence with the children of your two brothers, Linden and Richard.

[...] I hope you will recognize what I mean: but in the light of her understanding at the time, children were to be used as power, as a man might use weapons.⁷

He will take particular joy in watching his own children develop, because he did not develop in that past life to maturity, though this of course was not definitely in your dream.

[...] Seth began to be more specific on family reincarnational data when he told Jane and me in a very early session that neither of us would be born again on the physical plane; this, he said, accounted for our lack of children and the desire for them. [...]

[...] It is a low table; often a group of the children would be playing games on the table, and to do this they had to sit on the floor. [...]

[...] “The color yellow” we think is a strong connection to the drawing of the dog; Dick recently obtained a puppy for his children, and when Jane and I asked David to describe the dog he called it orange at first, then yellow.

[...] As I mentioned earlier, she did marry a cavalry officer, and bore him many children.

[...] Lessie had already had and lost 4 children. [...]

[...] The two children were very fond of each other. [...]

There are people who want children and mates, and have those excellent qualities that would serve them well as parents. Some of those same individuals may be convinced that love is wrong, however, or that sex is debasing, or that children mean the end of youth. [...]

[...] Children have to be taught, because the abilities of consciousness in human terms cannot be held to such dictates.

[...] A man will die to protect his children. [...]

[...] One small point: as you realize, the adolescent children did represent emotional conflicts in the dream that Ruburt managed to force his way through.

[...] For some time, with her children grown, she had felt alone, unnecessary, denied the structure of vital action in which she had to care for her family earlier. And so the great energy of her being, before taken up by her children, had no outlet.

(Pause.) Dineen is a well-educated woman of middle age with several grown children, financially at ease, possessing all of the things that money can buy. [...]

(Very intently all through here:) Women delivering children are placed in the same environment. This may seem very humane to you, and yet the entire system is structured so that childbirth does not seem to be the result of health but of illness.

[...] Now, I can write as the many selves I have been, with full knowledge of my background so that I can address myself to mothers, and fathers, and children...consciously remembering my experience in those roles. [...]

When you were children, you knew you were a part of All That Is and you allowed your perception some freedom. [...]

Someone—I forgot who—once said, “unless you become like little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

The usual framework of married life with children was not to be a part of your experience this time, and both of you took pains to see that you did not have children—or mates that wanted them. [...]

(Jane surprised me after I said most of what I had to say by adding that she thought our attitudes about children also had something to do with the symptoms —a connection that I could say had never occurred to me. [...]

You did not have the family concerns of children, as Ruburt mentioned. [...]

[...] We suppose that if we had young children we’d see to their receiving the immunizations they “should” have, or are required to have by a school board, for example. [...] Jane and I strongly recommend that parents thoroughly investigate and understand the pros and cons involved with each inoculation their children will receive.)

In a natural state, many children would die stillborn for the same reasons, or would be naturally aborted. [...]

Many children, who, it seems, should have died of disease, of “childhood epidemics,” nevertheless survive because of their different intents. [...]

(“At a church where we stopped, we listened to choir practice, were surprised that so many young adults were in the choir, instead of small boys or children, commented on the turnabout from what you would expect.”)

[...] Children may have been sent to camp, neighbors assigned to care for pets, and every logical situation cared for.

[...] The children do not leave for camp in time. [...]

[...] The lives and events of all those involved with his trip—the neighbors, the children, and so forth—all of those issues were arranged in Framework 2, so that while the events seemed most unpleasant, they were highly beneficial.

When the personality compared physical reality with children’s blocks, he made a remark about individuals returning in our future to peer into physical reality like giants squinting down to watch children play with blocks upon the floor. [...]

The voice said: “You are like children with a game, and you think that the game is played by everyone. [...]

[...] Again, like children playing with blocks, your focus of attention is upon physical blocks.

[...] Yet none of us would think of kicking aside your block constructions in ire, or telling you to put aside your children’s toys, though one day you will do so.

(“Are there any children in the neighborhood?”

There are no children. [...]

[...] You should not keep any of the children’s belongings.

[...] Any children’s balls should be discarded and not given to the cat to play with.

[...] It is quite within the probabilities that the statistics will reverse themselves and that for no reason that scientists can discover, children are born stillborn, as in a mass epidemic, and that entities simply refuse to inhabit the bodies made for them. [...]

[...] The women’s fear of bearing children alone made them barren when starvation loomed. [...]

[...] Inoculations have great magical effect upon children in that regard. [...]

[...] When women had too many children in the past, many did not live to adulthood. [...]

[...] Each dot and x represents a house, the x’s representing families with children in the neighborhood. Note that two families with children live three doors from John; the Snyder family especially came to John’s mind as Seth gave the material on pages 159-160.

From Philip, the difficulty here somehow involving two children.

[...] On this map he indicated the location of each house, and it developed that there were two families with two children who lived three doors from him. [...]

[...] I do not know him, or whether he has children.

(See the 313th session for the material concerning some of John’s children and a possible unhealthy relationship with other children.

Still an unhealthy reaction between two children. [...]

[...] That is why, for example, it often seems that young children can die so easily. [...]
